Reddamâ™s portion of ownership, the largest of any of the partners, reportedly cost him $1 million. The deal was struck after Reddam inquired of trainer and Horizon Stable operator and his wife, Cincy, whether they had taken any of the several purchase offers that came after Ten Most Wanted won the Illinois Derby. When the Dollases told him they were still considering one, Reddam asked, âœWhat about me? Why not keep it in the family?â• That was in reference to the fact that the Dollasesâ™ son, Craig, is Reddamâ™s trainer. Both Ten Most Wanted and Reddamâ™s Craig Dollase-trained Elloluv, the expected favorite for the upcoming , are stabled in the same barn at Churchill Downs and that gave Reddam a chance to see the colt in the flesh and to talk business with the Dollases. * Reddam was born July 28, 1955 in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
